A meeting of Republicans was held last even

the municipal campaign. 1t was largely at

as Senator Harrison. Ex-Governor Porter. At

called principally to get the views of these
gentlemen upon the conduct of the campaign
Every named had something to say, and all
agreed that the campaign was of vast i'm portance

prevailed that the contest had ceased TO be- a
political matter, as the issue shall Coyis VI

Grifiths tersely expressed 1t issub
between decency and indecency, good and bad
government, law and lawlessness 1t said
that Indianapolis is passing through what has
afflicted every large city, the blghting effects of
gang influence. This city, like New York and
Chicago must destroy it, or the best interests
of the city itself would be destroyed. Effective
organization and the Importance of personal
work, the best efforts directed to bringing out
the whole Republican vote. and the guarding of
the polls and the canvass of the votes were
urged as essential in the campaign.

JONES OF FLORIDA REDIVUS,

People who read the newspapers do not
need to be told who Jones of Florida is.
There are, no doubt, great many per-
sons in the orange state who answer to
the name of Jones, but the one pre-emi-
nent Jones of Florida is the gentleman
who until the 4th instant was one of the
United States Senators from the state
There is a tradition that once upon g
time-the occasion of taking his seat and
qualifying as Senator-Jones was in
Washington and in the Senate Chamber.
There is also no doubt that he has drawn
his salary as Senator. But it is curl
Gus, and to Floridians humiliating fact
that Mr.. Jones has been at Washington
less time and accomplished less for his
state and oeople than any man in all the
history Of the country who ever went to
Washington as & Senator. Years ago
he left Washington and took up
his residence in Detroit, Mich. 1t is said
q love affair Jones is not married mani
carried and kept him there. Anyhow
Jones has been a resident of Detroit for
years, keeping away from Washington
and Florida, but affixing Omitted States
Senator" to his signature and drawing
senator's pay. 1t is now stated this ex-
traordinary Jones is preparing to treat
the country to another surprise, for
special from Detroit says he will seek q
reelection from the Legislature of his
state. "In doing this" says the special,
she will lay before the Legislature the
true reason for his long absence from the
national capital, and will tale unfold

SOME one has been figuring out the
cost of hereditary government and de-
clares that the total cost to the peoples
of the earth is S65, 100000 annually in
GLIDING Great Britain. Unfortunate
Germany heads the list of these over
governed countries With a population
of 40 100000, she is compelled to support
twenty-five royal, princely and ducal
families at an'expenditure of $4,000, 900
francs. Besides this in Prussia, and
in many other parts of the Water
land, the reigning families own
immense estates, and in the ma
jority of the principalities, the sovereigns
are the largest land-holders. In Neck
lenburg- Strelitz, tor instance, they Iown
three-ffths of the entire country. The
Sultan and his family are maintained ct
a yearly expense of 100000 francs.
Russia is compelled to pay out 81, 25O,O0
francs. The imperial family of Austria
has an income of %, 100000 francs. Italy
yearly hands over to King Humbert and
relatives 16,50O,OOO, while Spain spends
10000, 600 francs to keep its royalties
from want. The lesser light of the mon
archiaI system cost less, but still consid-
cradle, taking into consideration the size
of the countries governed. Thus Belgi-
um pays out 3,S37,5OO francs; Portugal,
with less than three quarters Of million
of inhabitants, 5,I75,OOO francs; Sweden
and Norway, .. 937, 500 francs; Denmark,
1850, 900 francs; Holland, /, 575, 00C francs;
Roumania, 100000 francs, and little

francs are contributed by England, France

that will not only vindicate his own
course, but create national sensation IN
the character of the charges he viii make
and the high character of the statesmen
that he will involve" This is certainly
promising, and if there is truth in the
report Florida will be the cgnosure of
all eyes when Jones opens his canvass.
People who are chsritably inclined to-
ward the ex-senator hint that ne is a
crank and not responsible for his eCcen-
tricities. His course is certainly one of
the riGdles of late years, and only one
thing may be set down as pretty well as
sured, which is that whether Jones is sane
or cranky the people of Florida are so
glad to get rid of him ne will never have
the opportunity of signing himself United
States Senator again. If were 8 Texan
and had acted as he has We should advise
him to stay in Detroit, for even crank
ness would hardly guarantee him a whole
skin.

Tennessee, whose canvass last summer
against his own brother, also an aspirsnt
for the governorship of the same state,
attracted the attention of the whole
country. The new and peaceful "war OF
the roses" was the theme of the press
and everybody read calf and Bob's''
speeches. The Tennessee Democrats vert
wild over Bob Taylor, the Democratic
brother. As one man they put their
shoulders to the wheel and rolled up an
overwhelming majority that put Brother
happened, strangely enough, that the
Blair educational bill, or the priucIple in
YolYed in that measure, was the chief
issue between the two parties in the Ten
nessee canvass. The Republicans and
ALI Taylor favored it, Cf course, and it
was limited that Bob Taylor, at heart, had
similar predictions. But the Demo
cratic platform on which Bob was nUmi-
mated did not favor the measure, and
the Democrats naturally expected their
nominee to accept his party's views.
When he was inaugurated Governor the
Democratic brother showed his colors,
and justified the hints that had been
heard during the canvass. He made no
cOncealment of his favor of the Blair
bill; he let his views be known officially
and semi-of1Cially, and it is said that in
his appointments Of public school officials
he has given the preference to men who
are advocates of federal aid to general
education. The Tennessee Democrats
are disappointed, and Judging from the
expressions one gets through the press of
the stete they are disgruntleG to an
extent that if Bob Taylor were a candi-
date tomorrow for the Democratic nom
nation he couldn't get 1t. Such is life,
and such are the workings Of politics.
The moral is that no man can be stronger
than his party and weed his own row
outside the party traditions and declara-
tions. II he tries to do so he can look
forward with absolute certainty to the
time when the party will leave him alone
in his giory-and a politician without d
party is worse off than the traditional
poor man at the frolic.
